Just when it looked as if the Machiavellian  Divine Right kings - such as the Tudors of England - were about to drive Christendom back to the days of Caesar worship  a Bible appeared that set the stage for a Christian Reformation of life and culture the likes of which the world had never seen. By the time of the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588  just 28 years after the first printing of the Geneva Bible  it was already being said of the English that they were becoming a people of the Book. The results of a people reading and obeying the Word of God were the explosion of faith  character  the first missionary movement in history  literature  economic blessing  and political and religious freedom. The Pilgrims brought the 1599 Geneva Bible with them when they arrived in the New World in 1620. All but forgotten in our day  this version of the Bible was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A superb translation  the 1599 Geneva Bible was the product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers and thinkers of that time. Men such as William Shakespeare  John Bunyan  and John Milton used the Geneva Bible in their writings. William Bradford also cited the Geneva Bible in his famous book Of Plymouth Plantation. The Geneva Bible is unique among all other Bibles. It was the first Bible to use chapters and numbered verses and became the most popular version of its time because of the extensive marginal notes. These more than 300 000 notes were included to explain and interpret the scriptures for the common people. Tolle Lege Press has partnered with White Hall Press to release of a beautiful new edition of the historic 1599 Geneva Bible - the 2010 Patriots Edition!
